CKLN 88.1FM, the Voice of Toronto’s Underground, is the city’s oldest and most honoured campus/community radio station. Located downtown at Ryerson University since 1983, CKLN has been the voice of Toronto’s underground with a program of music and spoken word which is second to none in it’s depth, quality and diversity. The CKLN community is a unique and rich mix of Toronto’s multi-cultural and artistic communities.
2010 is an important year for CKLN, as it is a rebuilding year. It is an opportunity to offer CKLN’s loyal listeners and the surrounding community the best that the city has to offer from the creative fringes.
FundFEST 2010 is CKLN’s shout out to the wider community to come out and support the station in its comeback year. CKLN programmers say… “CKLN is very much alive and moving forward.”
Running from Friday, November 19th to Sunday, November 28th, FundFEST, an annual onair fundraising campaign, aims to collect pledges, sponsorship and various other forms of
support from listeners, local businesses and community organizations.
Since its challenging year in 2009, CKLN has had to rebuild and re-establish itself to its listeners and the community.
Currently, CKLN radio is run completely by volunteers, so any and all support that can be offered is important. The 2010 FundFEST Campaign goal is to raise $88,100! These funds are an important part of improving the way CKLN serves its surrounding community. The money will go to upgrading equipment in the studio and developing the radio’s direction.
Supporters can go online to www.ckln.fm to make a pledge and to become a member of the CKLN community. More Fundfest 2010 details will be available on the website as the campaign launch approaches.

“CKLN 88.1FM is very much alive and moving forward.”
